Author Notes: Not much of a back story, just an idea that popped into my head and turned out pretty darn tasty! I got one of those ZOKU popsicle makers for my birthday, so that's what I used and it worked great!!! - aargersi —aargersi

Food52 Review: A popsicle for grownups. Aargersi's refreshing milksicles take all of 10 minutes to make and, on a hot, hectic day, can make all right with the world. The icy texture of the frozen milk contrasts nicely with the still pulpy cherry. Note: Once frozen, the flavors are more subtle so feel free to nudge up the honey or almond amounts if you want a richer tasting ice-pop. - Kristen —The Editors

Serves 3 zoku popsicles

1cup whole milk

1tablespoon honey

1/2teaspoon almond extract

pitted and halved cherries, enough to get quite a few in each popsicle mould

Warm the milk with the honey and almond extract enough to melt the honey into the milk. Cool to room temp then chill in the fridge.

Pour a little milk into your popsicle mould, then push some cherries down in there, then pour milk. Wait 7 minutes if it's a ZOKU, otherwise freeze til solid the way you usually do , remove, enjoy!

The Zoku is awesome - get one! We have 6 sticks (they came with) - it makes 3 pops at a time so you can make 3 and then eat them while the other 3 freeze. Our last batch was canteloup, honey and milk, blended and strained and frozen - delicious!!!

My 22 month old will beg to differ that these are for adults! We make the same thing but with the cherries pureed chunky into the milk, and agave instead of honey. I looove cherry and almond! I'll have to try them with the halved cherries for myself.

Freezing a milk / liquor combo just requires mixing the milk and liquor sufficiently, without whipping the milk, and then giving it enough time. Might need to turn down the freezer way below 32, and maybe even below 0, because the alcohol will serve as anti-freeze. Anyone who's been to Alaska knows, anti-freeze is really slow-down-the-freeze and not a guaranteed preventor of. So, should work, but will take a wee bit of time.
